[TW5]Struggling to understand tm-remove-field

[Linus Johnsson]

Dear all,

I have trouble understanding why the button created by the code below does nothing:

<$button message="tm-remove-field" param="some_field">Remove field</$button>

I would expect it to remove some_field from the current tiddler. Am I missing something essential?


Best regards,
Linus

Hi Linus,

You need to add the fieldmangler widget, see http://tiddlywiki.com/#FieldManglerWidget:FieldManglerWidget :

<$fieldmangler>

<$button message="tm-remove-field" param="some_field">Remove field</$button>

</$fieldmangler>

Cheers,

Ton

Actually I don't understand why all the messages works out of the box and this one requires for an extra widget. I know that it is because legacy design, but we should update the behavior,current one is not very intuitive
